I saw some posts about american wanting to move to Europe; so just before you guys make the move, double-triple check insurances/banks, because literally every time I (not american) do smth financially related in France, they ask me if I am american? If yes, they won’t even open accounts/ give me insurance etc… Sounds discriminatory but apperently because legal

I dont know if that expands to any other field

EDIT: lol i am now wondering what are people are downvoting for? You dont like that fact, so you downvote whoever told you that fact? Some reactions are hilarious

      i don’t have a second citizenship to fall back on, so i’d be stateless. also, i can’t afford to since you have to pay all the taxes on potential income for the next 10 years or something

        Only people who make more than 200k/year or have more than 2 million in unrealized taxable assets have to pay an expatriation tax.

        There is no paying future taxes as that’d be asinine.

            I would absolutely talk to an embassy or at least an international tax professional before making decisions and not rely on Lemmy.
